Replacing Your Bathroom Faucet? How to Choose the Right Style and Function

Layout Of Your Sink

Before starting to look for designs, make sure the faucet you’re looking for is complementing the layout of your sink. Most of the time, there are three layouts that are commonly available.

• Single-hole: Perfect for minimalist designs and small areas.
• Centerset (3-hole): A popular option that works with the majority of regular sinks.
• Widespread (3-hole): If you have a larger sink, this is the ideal one.

Style

If you first decide on the style you want for your bathroom, you can narrow down your options. Some homes are older or just have a more nostalgic energy to them, while others are modern and sleek; sometimes it’s a mix between the two.

Modern: If you want a more modern design, you need to opt for a more sleek faucet with clean lines. Also, colors like standard gray, matte, oil-rubbed bronze, or copper rose are quite popular these days.
Traditional: Traditional designs usually come in bronze tones and have details like cross handles and curved shapes. Brushed nickel is also commonly preferred in traditional faucets.

Functionality

While you’re replacing your faucet, it’d also be very beneficial for you if you opt for one that conserves water. There’s a misconception that revolves around this. When you opt for a water-conserving faucet, you’re not giving up on the style or the performance. It’s not only eco-friendly but also cost-effective. So, look for signs that show you that faucet is using less water. In addition to this, single-lever faucets enable rapid temperature and flow adjustment easily. Two-handle ones are quite popular with more traditional styles and adjust temperature more accurately. Finally, the popularity of touchless faucets is also increasing in residential homes. Consider all these features for the functionality you want in your next faucet.
